"Disaster and Survival Prep"

Information You Need To Know!

 

Some disasters give you a window of time to plan and prepare ahead,

and others are a matter of destiny.

This information page is an ongoing prep and

planning tool for disaster and survival preparedness.

     In today's world most people are flooded with a great variety of modern living tools, but what would you
do if you were lost in the woods without food, shelter or other provisions to sustain your life and the lives of your family? 
--Or, perhaps a natural disaster found you without provisions, and you were left to fend for yourself?  What would you do
if the water suddenly stopped flowing through the pipes or the house was darkened because of a lack of electricity? 
How would you take care of what you need using only basic items and those elements found in natural environments?
    
Disaster and Survival Preparation
A letter sent to The Lampholder:
    
In 1950, when I was 6, I dreamed of something called SARS which killed 30% of the people.  It was 2 billion.
I asked my mother about the world population, how much 2 billion was, etc...She said at the time the world
population was less than 2 billion. (Have since found out it was about 1.9 B at the time).   The reason so many
people died was that they were malnourished, and in a weakened condition.  I am not sure of the time frame
in my dream for the unfolding, but world population is now at right level for figures to fit.  I dream precognitively,
and have dreamed of weather profoundly out of phase and crop failure (wheat bent and stems cracked when
about 14 or so inches high and heads formed but still essentially greenish).
     At the time of the wheat dream (1952, summer), I had never seen wheat but my mom had been raised on a farm
and confirmed my description. In the dream I was weeping and I asked her why I would be crying because a
stem was bent...she said possibly because then there would be no crops...Further dreams over the years of various
events have spurred my learning curve to include many skills not requiring electricity and of a basic nature:
soap making, weaving, spinning, simple animal husbandry, cooking from complete scratch, etc....
I recommend Permaculture as a foundation for all citizens in all nations...Penny

    After a power outage, a refrigerator will usually stay cold longer if the door remains closed and food should be used by 4 to 6 hours.

    Frozen foods will usually stay frozen for several days.

    Maintain an extra propane tank canister to grill and cook foods.

    What You Need to Know When the Power Goes Out Unexpectedly

    Building a campfire:  Locate small, dead (if possible, dry) branches or tinder such as small pine needles in an opening, if possible, away from trees or shrubs to avoid a fire hazard.  Crush tinder on rock or hard ground where campfire is to be located.  Shape a tepee with small sticks above the crushed tinder with openings to catch a breeze.  Layer smaller sticks at base of tepee, following with next larger sticks.  Light fire,

    and once fire is established, add larger sticks and/or branches.
